Azilut: Good news I guess, though personally I quite liked Dreamfall's "serious downer" ending, and would have been quite happy to have it end there. I guess I'm probably in the minority on that one.
I think the change of mood was an interesting move. The ending is really, really dark and I would dare to say that it even works as a valid conclusion. TLJ was all about hope, Dreamfall was about hitting bottom for real without any chance to raise.

What was my big issue was a lack of gameplay. It was basically a clickable movie. No serious puzzles, no long dialogues, just running from one cut-scene to another. Frankly, this was a title which I used to think was "catering to console's users".

I keep my fingers crossed for a solid sequel and I'm very happy this is happening. I still see there a potential for more stories. I wouldn't mind a theme legacy of Dreamfall but I hope it will follow TLJ in terms of gameplay and length. And no social features, please.
EDIT: It seems to be okay reading certain parts of the RPS interview:
"I think were Dreamfall sometimes fell a bit short was in the mechanics. It didn’t really always present a challenge or enough intereaction between the player and the characters. That’s hopefully something we’ll be able to address in Chapters."
"Dreamfall will never be a multiplayer game ..."

And Kickstarter would be great :).

Gonchi: Another Kickstarter. No thanks.

amok: Kickstarter? Where?
RPS Interview linked earlier.

"We will be doing a Kickstarter. Not right now, but we will be doing it in the near future, simply because although we received a grant from the Norwegian Film Institute, which was announced today, that is only for the preproduction phase. That allows us to get started on a prototype but in order to fully develop Dreamfall Chapters we’re going to need more money and we will be going to Kickstarter."
Here's the official announcement straight from Funcom

Yet another game announced that I want badly.
I wish I had more money and time to set aside for all of them.
